(NEWSER) – Looks like Aaron Hernandez's home surveillance system may have backfired on him. Photos have emerged showing the former football star carrying a gun shortly after the shooting of Odin Lloyd, prosecutors say. "Interior surveillance footage shows Aaron Hernandez pass through the living room area of the residence while holding an item, identified by investigators being consistent with a firearm," says an affidavit, per ABC News.

The images exist despite Hernandez tampering with the 14-camera surveillance system, prosecutors say. Meanwhile, a clearer story of the night is emerging:

Hernandez sent a text to Lloyd hours before he was killed that read: "I'm coming to grab that tonight. U gon b around I need dat and we could step for a little again."
